4%28a-2%29-6a%3C-9 Start with the given inequality



4a-8-6a%3C-9 Distribute


-2a-8%3C-9 Combine like terms on the left side


-2a%3C-9%2B8Add 8 to both sides


-2a%3C-1 Combine like terms on the right side


a%3E%28-1%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate a (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



a%3E1%2F2 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is a%3E1%2F2 (which is approximately a%3E0.5 in decimal form)
